Chapter Six

Robin watched Colt carefully. His power rippled beneath her fingertips and she'd never felt so close to swooning before. The thought of it almost made her laugh but she didn't think either man would appreciate that.

So she stayed still in his arms, felt his heart tapping a steady beat against her fingertips and hers responding in kind. Was he right? Were they destined to be mates? That would go against everything she'd been taught to believe.

But that was the crux of the matter. She'd been taught what to believe. Almost thirty years old and she'd never been allowed to think for herself. Feel what was right and wrong. The Tallan was a strong guide and now her powers were beginning to fade and flicker.

She'd resigned herself to a quick death rather than fight. But being with Colt made her stronger, angrier, and determined. Somewhere along the way she'd lost that.

“Tell the men to stand guard. If he wants her, he'll have to try again.”

Something else passed between the two men, so quick she missed it. Matthias nodded and turned to leave.

“Thank you,” Colt called as the big man shut the door behind him.

“Hold that thought,” he murmured and kissed her forehead.

After locking the front door, he turned off the light in the kitchen corner and returned to her. Wave after wave of emotion assaulted her as she digested everything she'd just learned.

“You all right?” he asked, that deep voice rumbling through her.

She shook her head slightly. Someone in her Clan had been watching her, knew she was in her mating cycle? Did they sell the information? She tried to think of who would do such a thing. Who had something to gain?

Revulsion filled her as she thought of what Blackwood had planned. Her stomach turned and she fought to keep the pasta down.

“Have a seat,” Colt ordered softly, guiding her to her chair.

She didn't even know exactly what he had planned which was almost scarier. Reaching out she tried to sense if anyone was close but the power waned. More than anything, she hated feeling like her own mind was betraying her. It scared her to think things would only get worse.

She appreciated that Colt didn't pepper her with questions or platitudes. On the other hand, he probably had a lot on his mind. If he really believed they were mates—

“Stop that line of thought right there, gorgeous. Maybe I've had more time to come to the conclusion, but I know the truth when I smell it. You're my mate. And to top it off, I like you.”

“You know that after less than twenty four hours? What if I use the bathroom a hundred times a night or sing off key in the shower? What if I can't cook or I hate your friends?”

He took her hands in his and she soaked up his warmth. “You're friendly with Matthias and that's a good enough start for me. I can cook...I can heat things up,” he amended. “I can't sing and I'll be keeping your spot warm in bed no matter how many times you pee.
